Fact Sheet 1: the Chocolate Company
Fact Sheet 1: The Chocolate Company Image Source: http://www.hersheyarchives.org/Default.aspx?Page=MilkChocolate Imagine a world without chocolate bars and you’d be back in the ‘70s – the 1870s, that is. But that began to change in 1872 when a teenager named Milton started working at Royer’s Ice Cream Parlor and Garden in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.. It was here at Royer’s that Milton learned the skill that helps make our lives a little sweeter today. Milton the Proprietor At Royer’s Milton learned how to make candy from boiled sugar. He also learned how to manage workers, control inventories, and price products. When he was 18 years- old, he decided to take his skills to Philadelphia and start his own business. With the financial backing of his mother’s family, he opened the Spring Garden Confectionary Works in 1876. Milton’s new business was a proprietorship, a company owned and run by one person who receives its profits or bears its losses. The business grew at first but eventually ran into difficulties. Despite more money from his mother’s family and Milton’s long hours and hard work, it failed in 1882. © 2015 SIFMA Foundation for Investor Education. All rights reserved. 1 of 3 Stuck on Caramel After his business failed, Milton then went to Colorado in search of silver but ended up working in - you guessed it, a candy shop. The shop produced caramels with an innovative process that used fresh milk. The caramels were softer, smoother, tastier, and had a much longer shelf life.

RECOMMENDATIONS REPORT: the HERSHEY COMPANY Prepared
!1 RECOMMENDATIONS REPORT: THE HERSHEY COMPANY " " " " " " Prepared for: Hershey Co. Marketing Team " " " " " " " " " " Prepared by: Ari Schjelderup April 22, 2014 !2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation Report for The Hershey’s Company" Prepared By: Ari" Schjelderup" Milton S. Hershey founded The Hershey Company in 1894 in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Hershey’s is the leading chocolate producer in the industry, with 30.5% of the market. Largely due to Hershey’s exceptional marketing strategies and tactics, it sells under 80 different brands to over 70 countries around the world. The most iconic brands Hershey’s owns are Hershey’s Kisses, "Kit-Kat’s, Reeses, Almonds Joys, Twizzlers, and Ice Breakers. The Hershey Company’s main competitors are Mars Inc. and Nestle. Together these companies hold 34.3% of the market share. Mars sells under brands such as M&Ms and Snickers, and has the next highest hold on the market after Hershey’s. Nestle is an international company with only "one third the market share as Hershey’s, but none the less threatens Hershey’s. Hershey’s is strongest in its brand awareness and loyalty. Brand loyalty allows Hershey’s to changes prices without much consequences on loss of customers, which will benefit it when Hershey’s costs go up and is forced to raise its prices. Brand awareness is good if a consumer is given a choice between an unknown brand and Hershey’s. Awareness will bring the consumer to Hershey’s chocolate because familiarity is generally chosen over the unknown. Other major strength is its Micromarketing because it allows customers a creative choice and allows Hershey’s to use their product as marketing tool for other companies.

The Hershey Company and the Cocoa Controversy
Center for Ethical Organizational Cultures Auburn University http://harbert.auburn.edu The Hershey Company and The Cocoa Controversy INTRODUCTION Chocolate is enjoyed by millions, mainly in decadent desserts, candies, and drinks. It contains fiber, iron, magnesium, copper manganese, potassium, phosphorus, zinc and selenium, which are nutritional antioxidants. Dark chocolate, with at least 70% cocoa, is considered protective against heart disease because it can reduce blood pressure, improve blood flow, raise HDL cholesterol (known as the good cholesterol), and lower total LDL cholesterol, or less desirable cholesterol. In one study, it was shown to reduce calcified arterial plaque by 32%. Other studies indicate that long term consumption of dark chocolate may protect skin from sun damage and reduce the risk of cancer, help with cognitive function in elderly people, and improve brain blood flow, oxygen levels and nerve function. As science learns more about the health benefits of dark chocolate, its demand continues to grow. Developing countries are discovering that chocolate beans improve their sweet treats and candies, thus creating even greater worldwide demand. Cocoa beans grow mostly in tropical climates, mainly in Western Africa, Asia and Latin America, the largest exporters being Ghana and the Ivory Coast. With over $7.5 billion dollars in sales every year, the Hershey Company is one of the world’s largest producers of chocolate and candy products. Hershey’s products are sold in more than 70 countries and include Hershey’s Kisses and Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bars as well as brands such as Reese’s, Whoppers, Almond Joy, and Twizzlers. Although Hershey strives to be a model company and has several philanthropic, social, and environmental programs, the company has struggled with ethical issues related to the labor issues associated with West African cocoa communities, including child labor.

What Is a Company?
What Is a Company? Suggested Grade Grades 4-5 Suggested Time 50 minutes Teacher Background A company is a business or association usually formed to manufacture or supply products or services for profit. A company can be a proprietorship, partnership, or corporation. A corporation is set up in accordance with government regulations and limits the liability of its owners. In a proprietorship or partnership, the owners share the profits or losses of the business in which they have all invested and are liable for all debts. A corporation is a company legally separate from the stockholders who own it and the managers who run it. Corporations can be privately or publicly held. A public corporation offers these advantages: (1) Limited liability, which means that the stockholders’ responsibility for the company’s debts is limited to their investment in its stock; (2) long life, which means a corporation continues to exist even when its stockholders or managers change; (3) easily transferable ownership, which means that stockholders can easily sell their ownership shares in the stock market. Private corporations offer advantages 1 & 2, and also issue stock, which can only be sold directly to individuals or other corporations. Private corporations are not subject to the stringent disclosure requirements imposed upon public corporations. Vocabulary Brand: A trademark or distinctive name identifying a product or a company setting it aside from rival products or company. Company: A business or association usually formed to manufacture or supply products or services for profit Corporation: A company legally separate from stockholders who own it and the managers who run it.
